1926-S 25C MS65 Full Head NGC. Predominantly untoned,
although the obverse margin displays indications of golden-brown,
and the reverse displays a few minute russet freckles. Lustrous and
pleasing with a nearly pristine obverse and only minor field grazes
on the reverse. The strike is intricate aside from the unavoidable
incompleteness on the usual trio of shield rivets. The 1926-S
started as a lower-mintage issue with just 2.7 million pieces
produced. Apparently, most were inadequately struck, because the
vast majority of coins that survive in Uncirculated grades do not
qualify for a Full Head designation at the major grading services.
Census: 12 in 65 Full Head, 4 finer (5/11).Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 12/2004), lot 5965, which
realized $19,550.(Registry
